Solicitor Michael Burke of Hong Kong; ethical leprechaun  

 

The Law Society of Hong Kong presented Michael Patrick Burke with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from the University of Hong Kong School of Law. Mikey also received a law license to practice in England and Wales in 1982.

 

The Law Society Disciplinary Counsel found Mikey guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

  • Failed to provide final accountant's report within six months of his firm ceasing business
  • Compromised or impaired or was likely to compromise or impair his own reputation or the reputation of the profession and a proper standard of work due to his improper conduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Board punished Mikey by gifting him with a complimentary censure and a fine of HK$60,000.00 ($72,954.00 US). 

 

As we speak (ca. October 2019), Mikey practices with Burke & Company at 21-24 Connaught Road West in Hong, Kong.
